It real hard to do this,Is it a lockup? If it is you will unbalance it if you drill it on the side.if you drill it from the back it will be useless.It will mess up the lock up plate. if there's not any medal just stand it on the side and let it drain,lay it down for 30 min. then stand on side,repeat and that the best you can do unless you send it off to open it up.there's some mods you can do to help 3-4 clutches.Let me know if i can help.i have a trans shop and can give you info to help.Later!
send me a private message.

You'll never get it all out unless you cut it open.

have you emailed precision industries and asked them about it? They may be willing to work with you on it and cut you a break.

Last time I checked with PI it's still $225 for a cut clean and restall. Fwiw, it was back in Feb that I checked. I ended up just buying a new converter and selling the old one.
